Tuesday 4th June many residents in Spain received a "we are have technical issues" message whilst watching ITV for certain regions including;  

ITV Staff where quick to advise viewers via social media platform "Twitter" that:

Following technical problems at our service provider Arqiva, Dsat viewers had some transmission problems. Normal service is now restored

Further Tweets advised people to use ITV+1 or select another region.

With many people on the Spanish Costa del Sol concerned at the possible loss of UK British TV many panicked thinking that this was it and that UK Television was now lost. The issues last night may or may not be connected to what some call "THE BIG SWITCH OFF" and others "The migration of UK Freesat channels to the new satellite" eaither way many people where immediatly looking for information.

We spoke to Jason Harding from www.mrskytv.com who said "I received 87 e-mails from clients last night and many forums where buzzing with talk" asked what his opinion was on the forthcoming loss of TV on the Costa del Sol he said "Nobody knows for sure, although all of our SKY+HD customers will not be affected as we have now sourced a special piece of kit that will allow all of our SKY TV clients in the Malaga area to access SKY on demand via the internet" There was a great sigh of relief when services where resumed just after midnight.

Loss of UK SKY TV (Spain) Costa del Sol residents face possible loss of sky tv & freesat satelklite tv

 

Unhappy Costa del Sol residents fear the possible loss of UK TV

Many British residents on the Southern Spanish Coast are growing anxious regarding the news of UK satellite TV signals being transferred to another satellite, that may result in the loss of UK TV channels such as BBC - ITV - CH4. 

Back in the 80's many British TV fans would rely on friends and a network of British EX-Pats that would bring VHS video tapes over from the UK along with real British sausages, bacon, HP sauce and the latest episode of Dallas or Coronation Street.

With many British Businesses trading on the Costa del Sol and most of the major supermarkets all having a "British" section it is crazy that the BBC have decided that BBC 1 & BBC 2 and possibly other channels such as ITV will no longer be available for FREE using a satellite receiver and a suitable satellite dish. It now looks like even a 3.1 metre satellite dish may not be big enough.

Several of the bigger Companies in Spain that specialise in Big satellite dish installations in Spain are waiting to see the results once all of the channels have been transferred. Many forums, blogs are filled with people asking "Are we going to loose SKY TV in Malaga?"

From the information available this is what we beleive to be a fair estimate; 

1. SKY TV such as SKY SPORTS 1,2,3,4 and most of the "premium" SKY channels will still be OK and customers with SKY+HD boxes and a good internet connection will be able to watch SKY TV channels, but will have to use BBCiplayer and ITV player to watch Eastenders and Corrie by using a special "chipped" router with a UK VPN. (we have them in stock)

2. SKY GO - Allows access to SKY premium channels via the "SKY GO"  suppliers such as SKY TV SPAIN who can set up a SKY GO account & provide a VPN mask router or web solution. This again will alllow access to SKY premium channels (payable to SKY UK) and UK on demand. The "on demand" service from SKY is amazing as it allows access to BOX SETS and CATCH UP TV via the internet.  For SKY GO e-mail us here

3. FREESAT - The FREESAT TV channels are rumoured to be disapperaing and will no longer be a solution for BBC and possibly ITV in Malaga, Andalucia, Marbella, Feuengirola, Sotogrande.

4. IPTV HD UK TV in stunning 1080p "High Quality Picture" High definition "IPTV" internet television boxes from IPTV MARBELLA and IPTV MALAGA
